Chapter 3: Joint-class mission pt 1

Naruto could feel the fresh air guiding on his skin. The team had decided to go to the beach, well according to Ino, that was the plan. He thought today was the joint-class mission, but he figured going to the beach is a lot more fun than staying in Konoha doing some boring mission. He knows the kids will make fun of him, he clenches his hands tightly and tries to think about other things, but he couldn't.

That's when a familiar girl comes running to Naruto. She's wearing a cute bright blue bikini and waves her hand. Naruto felt the heat rush to his face, with his eyes trying not to stare, but it was hard.

"Hahaha!~" Ino laughs, launching herself on Naruto and Naruto loses his balance, falling backwards. Ino snuggles closely against him and Naruto could feel the heat traveling elsewhere now. "Ino..." he crawls away, smiling so he doesn't hurt her feelings. It's not that Naruto doesn't like Ino or think she's unattractive. He actually likes this Ino more than the one who hated him. He also thinks Ino's really cute~

"Shouldn't we be concentrating on our training first?" Naruto mumbles, but this doesn't faze Ino at all. She crawls to him like a seductive imp, smiling like a feline and making Naruto tremble from head to toe. "Why don't we head back to the beach house and have some time alone?" she said, touching the tip of Naruto's lips with a wink. Naruto's heart beats like a drummer boy first drum solo. "Ino..." he quivers. He didn't like the awkwardness of the old Ino when she hated him, but this one felt so right it frightened him. It was like finally finding the other end of a puzzle.

They were synchronizing so well together.

"Okay~" Naruto shakingly said, standing up as Ino grabs his hand, leading him to the beach house and every step they took it was like walking on clouds. You couldn't believe you're walking on them, but when you pinch yourself to see if you're dreaming, you don't wake up. Naruto's inside self is celebrating in joy, but Naruto notices something odd.

Asuma and Choji aren't there.

The sound of the sliding door opening returns Naruto back to his sweet dream as Ino closes it slowly. She begins to loosen her bikini top, smiling devilishly at Naruto, if people were to see this without knowing who they are. They would definitely think Ino was the beast. Her eyes are focused on Naruto like a hunter ready to devour her prey and Naruto smiles lopsidedly.

"Naruto..." she pushes him on a chair, sitting on top of him with her hands tied behind his neck, "I want you to taste me...I know my father doesn't approve you, but that day you saved me..." there are sudden tears sliding down her face, "I fell in love with you and..." she kisses him. "...I know you're the one." she chuckles slightly before kissing him again.

It seems Ino felt like this was a dream to her as well since she looked so happy. Naruto didn't give up on her, perhaps everyone in Ino's life gave up on her. He never really did anything to piss her off, maybe her father wanted her to force Naruto out of the group and that's why she was so mean. "Naruto~" She kisses him again and Naruto begins to take control, carrying her with her legs wrapped around his waist and he sits her on the table. "Ino...I won't ever leave you, so please...don't ever leave me."

Ino showers herself in lust, bringing her body closer to Naruto and with a gently nod, "I wouldn't have it any other way..." she's still crying, but it's not tears of sadness, it's tears of joy. She's more than content having Naruto and without her knowing. This is what Naruto always wanted. He wanted this attention from everybody, but he finds out today that he doesn't need the attention of everyone. He just needs the attention of this one girl in front of him. This angel that fell from the sky.

"I love you Ino..." Naruto said and before they could move to the next step of their engagement. The sliding door opens and Asuma walks in quickly until he sensed the situation. His face tenses up and he freezes on the spot. He closes his eyes like a child walking into their parents bedroom at a bad time.

"Sensei!" Ino screams, re-tightening her top while Naruto looked furious. His dream ended because of this abrupt entrance!

"This better be good, Asuma-sensei..." Naruto said, looking disappointed.

Asuma raises his hand to for them to stop talking so he could recollect himself, "First off: I'm going to have a serious talk with the both of you..." he puts his cigarette disturbingly in his mouth and lit it with his chakra, "Secondly: Where the hell have you guys been! The joint mission is in one hour!"

Naruto's eyes widen as he turns to Ino, but Ino's looking everywhere else besides him. She couldn't do it for long as Naruto stares at her with intensity in his eyes. "Okay I'm sorry..." she said, putting on her clothes. "I thought maybe we could hang out before we go this dumb mission." She complains like it's Naruto's fault and walks out of the room in an angry manner.

Naruto could only stand there dumbfounded as Asuma pats him on his shoulder, "Don't fight it...just admit she's right." he tells him like a teacher teaching his student and Naruto doesn't argue against it, but he does say, "You're not really going to talk to Ino about..." he pauses, thinking of how to say it properly.

Asuma looks at him sternly and it seemed like he was going to say it was fine, until something clicked. Asuma remembers something and then smiled, "I'm going to have a long and annoying talk with you especially Naruto. Inoichi can deal with Ino, but you should be worrying about me." Naruto looks at him, stunned. Why would Asuma want to talk to him about this stuff...He puts his hands in his pocket, feeling a little bit irritated, but Asuma rubs his head which made Naruto laugh, "But you're really hitting it off with the Yamanaka girl, aren't you. I'm honestly impressed..." He walks in front of Naruto and offers his hand, "Lets go kick some butt, alright!" The three leave the beach house for another day.

Today! They face the other teams in a joint-class mission!

"Looks like you're son is standing all alone!" Shikaku calls out Choza and the two look at each other angrily. "Even that dead-beat teacher didn't show up." one of the parents said, laughing and Choza couldn't say anything, but shake angrily at how disappointed he is that his son is part of a loser team like this. Inoichi had gone to find Ino, but there was no luck. The announcer of the joint-class mission made a countdown, if all members are not present during the appointed time. They will be disqualified.

Choji is standing by himself, not worried about a single thing. Team 7 is only a few feet apart and Shikamaru glances at him, a smirk on his face, "What happened Choji?" he asked, grinning and Sakura smiles beside him, "Your team too scared to face us?" she asked, but Choji doesn't respond. He's face is calm and collected unlike his father who is in a panic.

"I understand Choji..." Sakura said, fixing her hair, "Ino's probably crying somewhere because she's in a group like yours." she lets out a cute giggle, despite how evil she sounds. The two try to scare Choji, but Choji's like a robot, only moving to put chips in his mouth and munching happily. "Where's your third member anyways?" Choji said, almost quiet enough it was a whisper.

Both Sakura and Shikamaru look to their side and Choji was right. The third member, Sasuke Uchiha, is calmly waiting in the shade of a tree where there teacher was reading a book from Ichi-Ichi series. "Sasuke!" Sakura shrieks and runs to him, trying to drag him along, but Sasuke violently jerks his hand away, "Touch me again...and you'll regret it..." he said frighteningly to Sakura who hides her face and mopes back to Shikamaru.

Shikamaru brows crunch up and he stands in front of Sakura, "Hey why are you always like that?" he said, showing the same ferocity as a tiger. Sasuke jumps to his feet and doesn't look fazed, to be exact, he looks like he didn't care, "How about you do something about it then..." Kakashi soon jumps down from his tree, his nose still digging inside the book, "Now, now, kiddies. Play nice..." he implied, walking to where he was supposed to be.

It managed to calm them down, but you could tell by the tension that they didn't like each other. Sakura looks at the both of them, trembling at how serious they were glaring at each other. She wouldn't be surprised if they ripped each others head off any second.

"Come on guys, let's concentrate on winning, okay?" she smiles, trying to become the magnet of their hate, but it's not good. They eventually stopped glaring at each other, but people could tell this isn't just a match between anymore, especially for team 7, this is a match between the two most talented shinobi's around.

Naruto, Asuma and Ino are running as quickly as they could to the area. The event is being held at the forest of the undead. It's an inner forest of Konoha that medium level nin's go to practice or look for rare herbs. Naruto's breathing really hard, trying to keep up with Ino and Asuma, "Dammit Ino..." Naruto said, trying to catch his breath, "You're little field trip got me tired..."

Ino just lets out a cute giggle and smiles as she looks behind him, slowing down a bit, "Just wait when we actually do something~"

Asuma glares at the both of them behind him and it sends chills running up their spines, anyway, they finally made it to outskirts of the event when Asuma stops them. "Why're we stopping?" Naruto asked and there's a clever smile on Asuma's face as he contemplates an evil plan.

"We're going to go into this with style..."

The announcer looks at the time and it's counting down to five. The whole crowd is looking at Choji still standing by himself as official's begin walking out to bring him away from the even. "Look's like team 10 will n-" The announcer gets cut off and from the sky there are three dots, falling at full speed.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" Naruto yells out, staring at Asuma with Ino in his arms. Asuma wanted them to enter with style, but Naruto had no idea it meant falling off hundreds of feet in the air. Ino's hiding her face on Naruto's chest, secretly pretending to be frightened. She was a little bit scared and surprised, but this provided an excuse for her to be 'princess carried' by Naruto.

"Don't worry about it." Asuma said, lighting up his cigarette in mid air, "I placed to sealing paper on the bottom of your shoes. It should be fine."

"SHOULD?!" Naruto looks at the sky one last time and prays that god forgives Asuma for killing two innocent teens, and right when they're about to land Asuma brings out a smoke bomb in his pocket and throws it straight in the ground. The smoke bombs were of a different color so the smoke looked like it was oozing out a rainbow of air. When the smoke disappears. The clock had reached 0.02 seconds when team ten finally arrives.

Naruto's breathing hard and Asuma's sticking his tongue out like a famous movie star. He looks up at the time and hits his fist in his hand, shaking his head, "Dang it, we're 0.1 second too early..." he looks at Choji who finally smiles and nods his head, "I almost thought you had it too...Well we'll just have to this another time."

The two laugh at each other and Naruto looks at the both of them in disbelief, Ino's still absorbed in Naruto's scent she doesn't realize her father looking down from the stands, "Ino!" he yells out and Ino finally snaps back to reality. "F-father!" she quickly jumps off Naruto and smiles awkwardly. She lifts her fist in the air and punches Naruto on the shoulder, "Why didn't you tell me my father was looking at us?!" she whispers harshly and Naruto's just wondering what's happening right now. The announcer's still dumbfounded with the entrance as he glances at the clock and then back to team 10.

"Well...ladies and gentlemen...This is team 10..." Asuma holds his students in one giant hug and nods his head, happily.

"Yep, this is team 10!~"
